Thousands of mosquitoes will die overnight: an unexpected life hack from an American (video)

Warm nights often turn into a struggle to fight off annoying mosquitoes, which impairs the quality of sleep and rest. Repellents against these biting insects are not always effective, especially outdoors.

American inventor Dan Rojas has found an environmentally friendly way to kill thousands of mosquitoes every night.

According to his method, two industrial fans covered with mesh are at the center of this ingenious plan. He places them on either side of the dog enclosure and turns them on. Thanks to the powerful air flow, mosquitoes are drawn inside the mesh, where they get stuck.

Rojas says he noticed mosquitoes flocking to his dog Rocky, who lives in an outdoor enclosure, in the evening. He decided to use the dog as a mosquito bait and at the same time protect the dog from being bitten.

Instead of a dog, Rojas recommended using an open soda bottle so that mosquitoes would flock to the carbon dioxide it releases.

Mosquitoes that fly to the bait will get stuck in the net and can be destroyed in the morning by washing them off in a container of water or spraying the nets with an alcohol solution.

Although manufacturers do not recommend leaving the fans running overnight, Dan Rojas is convinced of the high efficiency of his invention, which has already saved many people from mosquito infestations (judging by the comments under his video).

This life hack is designed not only to make your life easier, but also to help preserve the environment by using environmentally friendly mosquito control methods.
